<b>FAQ: May I use this track in my project?</b>
Yes! Yes! Yes! You <u>are</u> allowed to use this track, and any other track uploaded to my SoundCloud page under any circumstances, without my explicit permission, even if your project is commercial. All you need to do is provide credit like so: "Music by: Steven O'Brien", and if possible, a link to the SoundCloud page of the track(s) you're using.
I receive a large volume of messages and emails every day with this very question, so please do not contact me to clarify the terms. Unless you absolutely cannot display credit within the project or within its accompanying description, my answer will <u>always</u> be yes. :)

<b>FAQ: Why do you release all of your music for free?</b>
